"I COULDN'T FIND WHAT I WANTED TO DRINK SO I BUILT THE DAILY RITUALS I'D BEEN MISSING."

In my 40's things changed in my body. Suddenly coffee made me nervous. Alcohol woke me up at night. Things I used to enjoy, stopped feeling good. But the moments, the actual needs didn’t disappear. My morning still asked for something that could give me energy and focus. I still wanted to drink something special during dinner with friends. And what if I could find something that could stop my cravings?

Then one evening in London, I had a tea pairing instead of the usual wine list I decided to go for it. And it changed everything for me. It made the food taste so good. It gave me warmth. I wasn't missing alcohol and there was no hangover the next day...

I was intrigued. So I started looking deeper. Talking to people who really understand tea, experts, sommeliers. Tasting, a lot of tasting. On the hunt for teas that could replace old habits with better ones. I always thought I would end up having my own clothing brand - working in fashion for over 20 years, until I got hooked on premium tea. For me it's a logical extension of my taste. It turned out I had a nose for tea. And tea itself showed me how it can transform your day if you know what to choose. It became my mission. Giving tea became my love language. One that invites to slow down, to take that moment for yourself. That's worth more than a hundred beautiful handbags.

With Nōta Gathering I want to set a new standard in drinking tea. The result is a delicious tea collection built around your everyday moments. Because I believe we shouldn't live in products, but in moments. Not to replace something. But to offer something better. A new way to move through your day. In tune with your body.

Gather around our table.

With Love,
